BOOK-OPENING TRAINER
The Phantom Force makes it easy for you to learn the same openings that world
chess champions play! At the beginning of a game, you may choose to learn one of
32 popular book openings—ways to begin the game—used by chess masters. Press
+OPTION repeatedly to display OPEN, and then press the t or the u key to select
the number of the opening you want to learn. (See list following.) Press the CLEAR
key to return to normal play.
Now play a move. The Phantom Force will tell you if your move is not the correct
opening move. To learn the correct move, press CLEAR and then press HINT. When
the computer comes back with its move, you will briefly see the word OPEN on the
screen if you have another opening move to make. If the word OPEN does not appear,
you may continue normal play. You have completed the training for that opening line.
